Bargetrip.ie — Attraction in The Municipal District of Naas

We had an amazing experience on the barge with Ger & his son. We celebrated my partners 50th birthday. We brought snacks to have with the tea and coffee available on board along with the bar. We chose the Digby lock cruise. It was a 2.5hr trip not to be forgotten. Filled with fantastic views, photo opportunities and lots of history and knowledge of the canals and waterways. We experienced the barge dropping into the lock and rising through. We stopped briefly on the Aqua duct to observe and to hear the history behind the bridge. Memories of the day will not be forgotten. We were made feel very welcome on board . The barge is well kept to her authentic glory. The wood stove was burning to keep the cabin cosy. We were lucky enough to have the perfect weather so we all had enough space to stay comfortably outside. We would 100% recommend this experience as it’s more...

Very happy to recommend this trip on the barge from Sallins to Digby Lock. It’s a wonderful setting, a whole different way to see the countryside & birdlife, going at the relaxed pace of the barge. Add in the experience of heading through the lock, both rising up & down + crossing the Liffey on the beautiful Leinster Acquaduct The barge was well kept & well organized. Stove made the inside as cosy as could be. My grandsons’ favourite spot was at the front. We bought our food to have with the tea & coffee available. But, best of all was our skipper Chris. We decided it was his genuine enthusiasm, range of information & willingness to discuss all our questions which made our morning such a success. A big thanks from 7...

The boat ride is lovely and very calm, the boat itself is full of interesting knick knacks, and some books to peruse on the topic of the canal, it's history and wildlife. The captain is very informative and charming. And theres a selection of drinks (alcohol and non alcoholic, fizzy drinks, tea and coffee etc)

There's comfy couches on the inside and your free to move about as you please, so you can be cozy by the fireplace or look out to the canal on either open end of the boat.

As someone generally interested in transport methods, and who hasn't been on many boats I really enjoyed this! But I think anyone would like it. It's a calm and unique experience.

Had a great time, would 100%...
